Hi All,
Here is a list of the FWF-less amongst us which includes only those who
responded to my request. I count only 34 of the 1000 Europas sold to be
engine-less; this was surprising to me, as I had anticipated that more would
have deferred the expense of the FWF kit until they were well along with
their airframe-build. If anyone missed my posting and wishes to be on the
list, feel free to email me off-list and I would be happy to add him/her to
it.
Only one person on the list noted that their FWF kit had been paid for and
yet was undelivered by the old Europa company.
I regret that my lack of anything beyond the most rudimentary computer
skills may mean that this list is not as user-friendly as it could be, but
at least the information is there for anyone who cares to make use of it.

Here at the ends of the earth I have a classic Europa cowl which I
would gladly give to anyone who has "lost" one in the recent shinanigins in
North Yorkshire. It's in pristine condition. The recipient would hve to pay
the transport costs. ( Tony K seems to tour the earth pretty frequently.
Perhaps he could be persuaded to take it in his hand baggage)(!) Take note
the classic is 2'' shorter than the XS. robsonpr@clear.net.nz

Actually you can make that two spare sets located here in NZ as I have a
set sitting in my hangar as well. [and no, I won't carry them as baggage
sorry :) ]

I e'mailed John Wheeler and he felt that they would be shipping FFK's
with-in a month or two. He also stated thet it was Europa 2004's intention
to take care of the U.S. market. I am taking their word on that.
